We conjecture a new set of analytic relations for scattering amplitudes in planar N=4 super Yang-Mills theory. They generalise the Steinmann relations and are expressed in terms of the cluster algebras associated to Gr(4,n). In terms of the symbol, they dictate which letters can appear consecutively. We study heptagon amplitudes and integrals in detail and present symbols for previously unknown integrals at two and three loops which support our conjecture.

  1. Kinematics, cluster algebras and Feynman integrals

    hep-th 2021-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Cluster algebras for planar conformal kinematics are identified as G(4,n) subalgebras and used to bootstrap the symbol of an 8-point three-loop wheel integral via D3 and new algebraic letters.

  2. de Sitter Wavefunction from Quadrangular Polylogarithms: Chain Graphs

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The n-site chain graph contribution to the de Sitter cosmological wavefunction in conformally coupled φ³ theory is expressed explicitly in terms of Rudenko's quadrangular polylogarithms.

  3. New algorithms for Feynman integral reduction and $\varepsilon$-factorised differential equations

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A geometric order relation in IBP reduction yields a master-integral basis with Laurent-polynomial differential equations on the maximal cut that are then ε-factorized.
